LituanicaSAT-1 transponder long term testing

Dear radio amateurs,
For some unknown reason the satellite has rebooted several times during long term transponder test and due to that the transponder has been shut down automatically. Satellite is operating currently on high energy consumption mode as the attempt to reconfigure modes during the pass over our ground station today was unsuccessful. We therefore would like to ask for your support in tracking the satellite and reporting telemetry. If battery voltage drops below 7.2 V, the satellite will enter safe power mode and as a result you should only hear the CW FM beacon on 437.275 MHz and no packets. Thank You in advance for your support.

73,
Laurynas LY1LM, LY5N
